How does biodiversity affect the stability of an ecosystem?

Answer:

Having a number of different organisms increases the stability of an ecosystem, because a change in the population of one organism will have less effect on the population of an organism that depends on it. In a biodiverse ecosystem, a consumer will have a larger pool of food resources to draw from. If one of those food resources is decreased, the consumer can adjust by eating more of the other types available.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if there are rabbits, snakes and owls; the owls would kill the rabbits for energy. But if there weren't any rabbits; the owls would go for the snakes.
